Bare Minerals.....does it cover large pores? does anyone in their 50+ use this stuff?

I just bought all the BE and I am not totally satisfied. I will keep playing with the brushes and minerals. But I too have large pores and was horrified to see them look twice as big, when I tried to apply it myself. When I went to the BE store in Dallas this afternoon, they applied it. My pores didn't look big then, so I will keep trying. I thought about using a water mist spray to set in better. But if what others are saying about the staying power is true, I may be defeating the coverage.

I'm not from Arizona, but am from the south. It gets really hot here, but is not as dry as Arizona. I am 61 and have been using it for a while now and highly recommend it for mature skin! When I don't use it I notice fine lines, when I use it they are just gone! This has been a really cold winter, with the heat on all the time my face should look like a walnut, but it's amazingly smooth and soft. Get it for your mom, she'll love it!!

I'm 62 and it has just about erased my marionette lines; I actually put it on when my face is moist, let it absorb in, and then follow with a good moisturizer (I use the one by bare minerals). I think it is amazing. Now it did take about a month, but compared to the cost of fillers, this does the trick.

Hmmm not sure about the unwanted minerals, but I do know I use this stuff all the time and I love it and when you wash it off your face feels so soft. I know there are minerals in the clay but as far as I know these are good for your face. If someone else finds something different than that, I would be surprised. I hope the information I have given you helps in some way

I happen to love this product. I have large pores, but only get a zit here or there occasionally. I use product daily. The tube I is large, have used for more than 6 months and feels 1/2 full. I am 55 yrs old. and very oily skin.

I have adult acne so I would say that my pores that are large are mainly on my cheek and experience black heads too much. I have noticed with this product that it goes after those black heads and slowly reduces the pores size. I have also noticed that your face feels like a babies bottom after use, which a lot of products advertise but, this product really does it. Thanks for asking, I think I will do myself a peel today. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

I can't wear foundation any more :( so idk about bare minerals, but no it says nothing on the packeging.

I'm the same way. It definitely blurs them and makes them less "oh snap, you've got adorable freckles!" than I enjoyed, but it didn't cover them entirely. I don't mean to plug another product here, but after years and years I just ended up using the Bare Escentuals (sp?) mineral veil with SPF 30 mixed with the original foundation. The mixing is important: it takes away the thickness of the foundation but is still weirdly sheer, so it evens my complexion without covering up my freckles. Took a couple of tries to get the ratios right, but hand to God, it's perfect.

I like the stuff! I was skeptical - but it works very well and is not caustic! As for coverage: that is hard to say. It think it will depend on the material(s) being removed i.e. thickness, age, and what it is... But, I would let the stuff sit for a bit - to do its magic. I found that applying it and then going back over it 15 mins later with a dabbing or swirling style with a throw-away brush worked best. In applying, more is not necessarily better. Patients is best... Hope that helps!! lv

No, quite the contrary, Mineral make up has cleared up my adult acne and is the only makeup I have ever worn in my 67 year life that stayed on all day. I am awful about cleaning my face also as I work both day and night and am to tired or just forget by the end of my day/night! The e.l.f. mineral primer is the.o.ly one I have EVER used also that works.The price is amazing too.I love it and I have used the VERY expensive mineral makeups for 20 years...not any more!

Hi, I have the product and I think the spf is low. You can buy other minerals to add to it if you want a higher spf. You can match it to any skin color. I do really love this product, and it will last you a year or 2.

Absolutely! You won't find a better moisturizer for under makeup (except perhaps for jojoba oil, which is the most like human skin oils). I wear only natural powders in small amounts but my friends who wear more foundation tell me they like to apply the moisturizer right out of the shower and then wait 5-10 minutes before applying makeup to be sure the oil soaks in. I've had no issues whatsoever with my bare minerals and I swear I look younger!

In my experience, it will not completely cover a break out. But, it does a good job of helping conceal when used with bare minerals foundation. I love this product and use it regularly. This is some what odd, cause I have a blem on my chin next to my lip and applied this this morning and was happy with the result. I use a smaller brush to "push" it into where I want it when I have a blem. The brush that comes with it is remarkable. Good Luck.

Hi, I'm 60 too but my skin isn't too damaged. I don't think the Tria does much. I used it for 12 weeks and can't see much difference in my face. So, I think you might be disappointed. You might want to look into something more serious like the dot laser or the co2 laser.

I don't have breakouts, if you mean pimples. It barely covers redness. i still use a green tinted moisturizer, then the Bare Minerals Redness Remedy, then a Bare Minerals foundation :) It helps a little. At first i didn't think i'd buy it again. Now i think i might again; but it's not "the answer" I'd hoped it would be. I found another product that's amazing -- see the rosacea products at Cleopatra's Choice.

i've been using Bare Minerals for several years. It seems like the same stuff I've been using. It goes on good and my skin doesn't break out

As a concealer, however I have to say it is a little dry. I've used La Bella Donna mineral eraser # 4 and it's much better. I do LOVE RMS's other products, like their lip & cheek blend...
